> readme forgets to include the directory for the "dbxdrivers.ini" file 
> for 2007 which is C:\Documents and Settings\All 
> Users.WINDOWS\Documents\RAD Studio\dbExpress).

> The above works perfectly but I don't feel we should have to pay for

> planning on supporting this, sounds like there's a lot of people 
> screaming about this.
